SNOW TREE Reflection

Today the Northeast got lots of snow.

We expected 1-3"

We got 4-6"

Heavy wet snow to shovel, so I took a break and tried out my new camera.

Here's my 1st  photo with "reflection" setting.

(hard to believe the tree's really surrounded by houses, cars...)

A VERY TALL TREE with treeline in the background... and a telephone pole to the right.

 A recent sunset - Plains, looking across the river towards the west side - the sun is moving towards the right in the sky, and will be settling in the dip in the mountain range during the summer. That dip is where the Crossvalley cuts up and over to Dallas. 

 This stubborn mockingbird! (the fir is also the tall tree at the left edge of the 1st photo) Bird's going after a robin's nest. every day.

He was in the yard... kept hopping from branch to branch as I tried to chase him away and leave the baby robins alone... around  this japanese maple. THREE times! finally flew away.

They're safe. at least for one more day :o)
